By the age of fourteen, I wanted to become a hairdresser. Although I always wanted to become a hairdresser, I knew that I wanted to help make a difference within others life, by giving them a voice and having a person to talk to. Due to my upbringing, I never had a voice and was silence in more than one ways. I have found myself feeling alone and unable to express how I felt.

The writings of Columbus and Bradford and the Cherokee Creation Myth each gives a glimpse into the beliefs, attitudes, values and shared patterns of behaviors that form the cultures of the Native Americans, Imperialists and Pilgrims. Interestingly, their cultures overlap and blend. Some key Native American religious beliefs resembled those of the Imperialist and Pilgrims. For instance, the Creation Myth of the Cherokees depicts a Creator God and describes an afterlife. There is also evidence that in each of the cultures there was reliance on the providence of God.

In the beginning of the story the reader is introduced to the male dominant dynamics between the woman and her husband John. In fact, the woman is never given a name in the story, unlike John, signifying the denial of her importance. Furthermore, there is an immediate juxtaposition of characteristics, “John is practical…He has no patience…John laughs at me”

and Femininity. The poem is mainly about motherhood in a way as previously discussed. She

Women mostly did everything, the chores of the house and took care of the children. In the story, the narrator listens to everything the man says and tries to please him in everyway she can. The author tries to use this text to allow the readers have a better understanding on how women

The symbolism reveals that the narrator is unconsciously treating the women of his creation as blank screens. To cast various aspects of his personality that he cannot consciously acknowledge. Also to get to the heart of the problem is identity and being. That it could relate to the experience of mothering and of women to the problems of dependence and ego weakness. You have to accept female and male elements as the two aspects of the same personality.

To begin with, the author’s implementation of short sentence fragments throughout the poem illustrates the exasperation and frustration bottled up in women in response to

The notion that women belong to men, is a statement indicative of a female’s vulnerability. At many times within the novel, the idea that women are weak and feeble creatures is portrayed,

There are many main characters who are women such as Mrs. Joe, Ms. Havisham, Biddy, Estella, and others. These four play major roles with Pip and how they influence him throughout the novel. The women are shown through this novel to be housewife’s while the men go to work. They are seen as women who are supposed to be cooking and taking care of the children.

I support the legalization of marijuana. There are many more pros than cons when it comes to passing a bill for the use of marijuana, especially medically. It is known to have many uses. You can make crafts with it, cook with it, make it into something else such as oil or THC extract. It is proven that forms of extracted THC could possibly be a potential cure for cancer, but many people are unaware of this fact.

In the introduction of the poem, Heaney paints the picture of the girl as if seeing her recently after she was killed, creating a chilling image of cruelty for the reader. The first stanza of the poem aims at setting the scene and drawing the reader in: “I can feel the tug / of the halter at the nape / of her neck, the wind / on her naked front” (Heaney 1-4). In this first stanza, he uses the repetition of the word “her” and alliteration—the repetition of consonant sounds—of the “n” sound. The repetition of “her” shows the author’s want for the girl to keep some part of her identity, rather than becoming a nameless body in history.
